Our Team

Our team is led by Scott Wunderle, PLA, ASLA, a licensed Landscape Architect, multimedia artist, business leader, and stone mason.

His deep understanding of the local landscape, as well as his expertise in materials, construction techniques, and sustainable practices, inform every aspect of our work.

Patrick Jarvis, CAD Actualist and Engineering Technician, specializes in converting sketches and concepts into buildable plans. With an eye for preserving design intent while bringing ideas into the real world, Patrick creates environmentally sensitive plans through engineering specifications and construction methods that he has developed throughout his career.
